Mike:
Are you familiar with the Humidity down here in FL? While it might use less
electricity, It'd probably cost lots more for all the silica gel or salt
you'd be buying. Does it tell you anything that corn flakes have to be kept
in the refridgerator (or a crisper) to stay crisp down here? (personally I
*like* soggy flakes, so I leave them out.)

But it ain't the heat — it's the humidity! An electrically warmed box
would not per se be any less humid than a cool one. In fact, a warm box
will contain more water in its air than a cold box at the same RH. Maybe
what we need is a box with a little dehumidifier built in (solar powered,
of course.) :^) On the other hand, maybe nuking works because the ink
dries faster on heated paper and can't wick as far before it dries. I
think we should enlist a physicist, a thermodynamicist, and a chemical
engineer in this discussion before we go any further. — Mike
